Hail in July

Armenia is interesting. Where else can you see hail the size of marbles and a rainbow at the same time? It hailed for at least 20 minutes and by the end it actually looked like it had snowed in some places, and a flash flood in others.

The hail was some of the biggest I've ever seen and probably the longest. The stuff that landed on the road quickly turned into a river, but the stuff on the grass near the apartments that were shaded the whole day looked like a spring snow. And this was on July 5th.

Thinking about it, I've seen hail here at least once or twice a month since March.

And also the wild flowers here. Those are amazing. First we had reds a few weeks ago, with some yellows, and now we have purple ones on my way back to from Yerevan.
